Study Notes

Embryology: Respiratory System Development

The pharynx has 6 mesodermal thickenings arranged cranio-caudally.
The first arch is the most prominent, formed by maxillary and mandibular processes.
The stomodeum (oral pit) forms between the forebrain and heart.
The buccopharyngeal membrane ruptures in the 5th week.
The respiratory system develops from the laryngotracheal tube, a ventral outgrowth of the foregut.
Initially, the epithelial lining of the respiratory system is endodermal in origin, except for the nose, which is ectodermal.

Face/Nose Development (4th-8th week)

The fronto-nasal process forms a median prominence from the head fold.
Two maxillary processes develop from the dorsal part of the first pharyngeal arch.
Two mandibular processes develop from the ventral part of the first pharyngeal arch.
Nasal placodes (ectodermal thickenings) on the fronto-nasal process appear in the 4th week.
These placodes invaginate to form nasal pits, and medial and lateral nasal folds appear in the 5th week.
Lateral nasal folds form the alae (wings) of the nose.
Medial nasal folds fuse, forming the premaxilla/intermaxillary segment, contributing to the nasal septum, philtrum, central upper jaw, and the primary palate.

Maxillary Process Changes

Maxillary processes grow medially to fuse with medial nasal folds, forming the upper lip.
They grow laterally to fuse with mandibular processes, forming the cheeks.
They grow superiorly, separating from lateral nasal folds via the nasolacrimal groove.
The groove develops into the nasolacrimal duct.
Mandibular processes fuse with each other medially to form the lower lip and chin.
Maxillary processes fuse with mandibular processes to form the cheeks.

Face Musculature

Face musculature originates from the mesoderm of the 2nd pharyngeal arch, with innervation from the facial nerve.
The upper lip is primarily formed from the maxillary process, except for the philtrum (formed by the intermaxillary segment).
The lower lip forms from the mandibular processes.

Palate Development

The primary palate is the anterior triangular area, carrying the incisors, and arises from the intermaxillary segment.
The secondary palate develops as shelf-like projections from the inner side of maxillary processes.
These shelves fuse in the midline with the descending nasal septum.
The soft palate forms from the non-ossified portion posterior to the nasal septum.

Anomalies of the Face

Oblique facial cleft: Failure of maxillary and lateral nasal folds fusion.
Cleft lip (harelip): Failure of medial nasal folds (central upper cleft lip) or mandibular processes (central lower cleft lip) fusion, unilateral or bilateral.
Macrostomia: An abnormally large mouth opening, due to incomplete fusion of maxillary and mandibular processes.
Microstomia: An abnormally small mouth opening, due to excessive fusion of maxillary and mandibular processes.

Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, and Lung Development

The trachea and esophagus form from the laryngotracheal tube, a ventral outgrowth of the foregut.
The epithelial lining of the respiratory tract originates from endoderm.
Mesoderm forms cartilage and muscles of the larynx and trachea.
Lung buds form initially, then divide into left and right main bronchi, further branching into secondary and tertiary bronchi.
The epithelium undergoes recanalization.
Development progresses through pseudo-glandular, canalicular, saccular, and alveolar stages.

Development of Pleurae

The visceral pleura arises from the splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm.
The parietal pleura arises from somatic lateral plate mesoderm.
The pleural cavity is the space between the parietal and visceral pleura.
The lung development stages include pseudoglandular (1-4 months), canalicular (4-6 months), saccular (6-9 months), and alveolar (up to 8 years).

Anomalies of Larynx

Laryngeal atresia: Failure of recanalization.
Laryngeal web: Incomplete canalization.
Laryngomalacia: Soft immature laryngeal cartilage causing stridor (common cause of infant stridor).

Anomalies of Trachea

Tracheal atresia: Complete closure of the trachea.
Tracheomalacia: Soft tracheal cartilage causing stridor.
Tracheo-esophageal fistula: Abnormal partitioning of the cranial part of the foregut by the tracheo-esophageal septum, potentially causing esophageal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula, impacting swallowing and breathing.

Lung Anomalies

Lung agenesis or hypoplasia: Absence or underdevelopment of the lungs.
Congenital cystic lesions: Cysts in the lungs of possible tracheal or esophageal origin.
Accessory lung lobes: Extra lobes in the lungs.
Respiratory distress syndrome (Hyaline membrane disease): Premature infants exhibit insufficient surfactant production.

Development of Diaphragm

Diaphragm development originates from the mesoderm.
Central tendon and sternal components arise from the septum transversum.
Costal elements derive from the lateral body walls.
Median and arcuate ligaments connect with adjacent abdominal structures.
Muscle arises from the mesentery of the esophagus.
Cervical myotomes provide innervation for the diaphragm.

Congenital Anomalies of Diaphragm

Parasternal (Morgagni) hernia: Visceral organs herniate through a defect between the sternum and ribs.
Bochdalek hernia: Visceral organs herniate through a posterior defect, commonly on the left side, into the pleural cavity, potentially compressing the lungs.
Congenital hiatus hernia: The esophagus or stomach herniates through a defect in the diaphragm (hiatus), potentially causing gastroesophageal reflux.
